We've seen lots of excitement here in Mill Bay right from our front porch. The fiber optic cable has been laid in Mill Bay. Its been a 4 day project....as they've had to dig up the bay to lay the cable, as well as Mill Bay beach.
The flood lights and tractors have been going all night on Mill Bay beach for several nights as the crews work away. There have been several boats involved in the process (see photos) as well as divers responsible for making sure the cable is anchored to ocean floor. This is Kodiak history in the making! I don't think we've ever had this much excitement right off our house in Mill Bay. And perhaps this cable will take care of the pesky phone delay/lag time that we experience during long distance calls.
Below is the website on the story. There is a 2.5 minute long story you can listen to on it. Its pretty cool! For all of you folks who are familiar with Kodiak, you may enjoy listening to it.
